NEET Zoology Genetic Engineering Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): The process of DNA amplification is crucial for genetic engineering. | Reason (R): Thermostable DNA polymerase is necessary during high temperature stages of DNA amplification.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that DNA amplification is crucial in genetic engineering as it allows for the generation of billions of DNA copies, facilitated by thermostable DNA polymerase, which remains active during high temperature denaturation.
